Quick Connectors

The main function of the quick coupler on an excavator is to expand the range of excavator use, save time, and improve work efficiency.

The excavator quick coupler, also known as a quick connector or quick change coupler, is a widely used industrial accessory, especially suitable for excavators. It allows for the quick installation of various attachments on the excavator, such as buckets, rippers, hydraulic breakers, hydraulic shears, etc., thereby expanding the excavator’s range of work. This quick connection design not only saves time for changing work attachments but also enhances work efficiency.

Excavator quick couplers are divided into mechanical quick couplers and hydraulic quick couplers. Mechanical quick couplers can be used without modifying the excavator’s pipelines and hydraulic systems, offering a lower cost option. Hydraulic quick couplers, on the other hand, require modifications to the excavator’s pipelines and hydraulic systems to achieve the automatic changing of work attachments. Each type of coupler has its own characteristics, suitable for different work requirements and cost considerations.

Furthermore, the application of quick couplers allows excavators to achieve excavation work in different directions at optimal equipment operating angles without having to adjust the position and posture of the entire machine, further enhancing work efficiency and operational convenience. This technological advancement enables excavators to better adapt to complex and changing work environments, meeting various work requirements.
